book about your own life
A book or long piece of writing in which a person writes the story of their own life.
รูปแบบการใช้:
an autobiography of [someone]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often confuse "autobiography" with "biography". An *autobiography* is written by the person about their own life, while a *biography* is written by another person. Learners may also mix up "autobiography" and "memoir"; a memoir usually focuses on part of a life or on special experiences, not necessarily the whole life story.
คำพ้องความหมาย
memoir (Often focuses on certain periods, themes, or experiences in a life, instead of telling the full life story from beginning to end.)
|
life story (More general and informal; can be spoken or written and is not necessarily a book.)
คำตรงข้าม
biography (A written account of a person's life by someone else, not by the person themself.)

life story in other media
A story in a film, book, or other art that is very close to the real life of the person who made it, so it is like their own life story.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[something] is almost an autobiography
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may not realize that "autobiography" can be used for films, music, or other art, not only for traditional books. In these cases, the word is used a bit loosely to mean that the work closely follows the creator's real life.
คำพ้องความหมาย
self-portrait (Often used for visual art; suggests a picture of the self, sometimes used figuratively for works that reveal a lot about the creator's life or character.)
คำตรงข้าม
pure fiction (Describes a work that is completely invented and not based on the creator's real life.)
